§ (1) Subject to the provisions of any Pilotage Order, pilotage shall continue to be compulsory in every pilotage district in which it was compulsory at the time of the passing of this Act, and shall continue not to be compulsory in every pilotage district in which it was not compulsory at the time of the passing of this Act, and as from the commencement of this Act all exemptions from compulsory pilotage in force before that date shall cease to have effect.
§ (2) Any reference in this Act to a pilotage district in which pilotage is compulsory shall, in the case of a district in which pilotage is compulsory only in part of the district, be construed, if the context so requires, as a reference to that part of the district only.
§ Amendments made: In Sub-section (1) leave out the words "as from the commencement," and insert instead thereof the words "subject to the provisions."
§ Leave out the words "before that date," and insert instead thereof the words "at the date of the passing of this Act."—[Mr. Buxton.]
